Sometimes I wanna take DT and throw him down to B2

A transparent persona anyone can see through

But we’re all just pawns to the big dogs right, what can we do?

Yo whoever he grabbed by the p should’ve tweeted “Me too”


But Trump just represents a problem, the guy ain’t the root

If you think things like racism or sexism started with him, I think that’s cute

I know there’s usually a lot of hate for the head honcho in a suit

Even from me, but if I said he created this mess, I wouldn’t be saying the truth


This has been going on for years, piling fears

Of people who aren’t from where we are, leaving trails of tears

Shunning those who live differently, no cheers if we’re drinking beers

And you just happen to identify as being queer


Or catcalling the opposite sex, which happens way more to girls

Half the world feeling uncomfortable around the other half of the world

Guys thinking dirty at midnight or like whoever’s next to 'em has a stack of pearls

Grabbing bags from who they can or yelling at people to give ‘em a twirl


Now I am not a saint, even though I don’t do things like this

If I thought just because I didn’t that I’m good, I’d be living ignorantly in bliss

If I thought just cause none of that happened to me, so it’s something I could dismiss

I guess I’d technically be okay helping only myself, but that ain’t the point of this


Now I’m not saying if you hear a stranger scream get ready to get into a fight

Although it’d be badass, it ain’t a bad thing to keep violence out of your sight

If you can, help someone know wrong from right

Cause some people just don’t know, and if everyone sees and no one says, they still might


They might do it again, they might try something worse

I’m not just talking about catcalling or stealing a purse

You can be the difference between a person ending up in a hospital or being the nurse

Or the difference between them driving a Bentley or rolling in the back of a hearse


Like school, where the work sucks but it’s a place full of dreamers

If you work at one or are the parent of a student, remember you're both teachers

I sound preachy but I sure as hell don’t want you to be a preacher

Just do your job the best you can and shape the future by improving its features


Help them learn, create the turn

Of a new leaf for the better

Make their minds churn, let the humility burn

Cause a hard working, educated individual

Is way better than an ignorant idiot on top with all the cheddar

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
